Ukraine, through Stub Vestra, offered Putin a meeting with Zelensky: the President of Ukraine is ready to discuss the "territorial" issue - the head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry Andriy Sibiga stated this on October 28 in an interview with the Finnish newspaper Helsingin Snomet. Earlier, Finnish President Alexander Staab, who spoke with Vladimir Putin together with Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Storr on October 27, said that the purpose of the conversation was to convey a message to him from Ukraine. According to Sibiga, it contains two points: a demand for a ceasefire and a proposal for a meeting between the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky and Putin. "We want this meeting and are ready for it. Apparently, only a meeting between Zelensky and Putin can give the negotiations a new quality. Zelensky is ready to discuss the most complex and sensitive issues, including the territorial issue," he noted. On October 27, Finnish President Alexander Staab and Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Storr spoke with Putin by phone. Staub called the conversation "direct and substantive," and the Kremlin said Putin accused NATO and the European Union of a "confrontational policy" and "delaying" the war.
